Liquid Communism posted:It hurts me to admit it, but like a stopped clock, the NRA is accidentally on the right side once in an aeon. An administrative list that doesn't require being convicted of a crime, is secret in nature, and for which there is no legal recourse is bullshit in the first place. Using that list to then attempt to restrict the rights of law abiding citizens is an even worse idea. "I'm loathe to admit the NRA was right," said the idiot who's been quoting NRA talking points about Obama 'using shooting victims' families as props'.

James Carville jogged in front of a streetcar on St Charles ave that I was riding causing the driver to slam on the brakes so I yelled "SKELETOR!" out the window. He looked back and seemed pretty pissed. So he at least acknowledges the nickname.

Funny cat videos have ungodly numbers of pageviews too but I don't think they're going to shift the national discourse in any meaningful way. According to reddit I'm sure Obama would have never been president, bernie would've won the primary, and hillary would be in chains. Stop over analyzing communities of angry 19 year old racists and go outside, is what I'm saying. Edit: don't forget about Ron Paul lol

Nah, its okay, the NRA was totally on top of gun control when the Black Panthers had access to guns. And no, the NRA was not right to use conspiracy theories to criticize the president on calling for legislation in the wake of school shootings. But then again, considering the people who are on the board of the NRA, its not suprising. The NRA is a terrible firearms rights group. Period. Its more a Right Wing talking point circus than a Firearms Group.

It's going to bite them in the rear end, because they've leaned so hard in the direction of the dying olds that most of the younger people interested in hunting and shooting sports want nothing to do with them, and I think that can only be a good thing.

True. Its a Baby Boomer party, they used to be a good group back in the day but instead of sticking to firearms rights they started courting the Tea Party and their ilk and now are rife with madness.

"This tweet was automated and the timing was very unfortunate" would mean it was actually a mistake. "It was a mistake guys really and if you think otherwise you're the real racist" is a kneejerk reaction to being called out on something you did intentionally.

Yea, I remember in the 90s when they started to change direction. In the late 80s we were suburban kids who went hunting once or twice a year and hit the shooting range once a month or os. We had the big NRA wilderness guide. Had lots of great info like how to read tracks, and how to properly stalk when moving towards an animal you're hunting. Hell, at least 90% of it was non-gun stuff (just as 90% of all hunting is not directly gun related). Then around the time of the LA riots my dad (who was the NRA member of the house) started getting mailers from them with all this racist dog whistling about how people in LA weren't able to protect their homes because of California's 5-day waiting period. It was a pretty stark change and stuff only got worse from there. Of course, since my dad is terribly racist he ate it up and became a lifetime member. But now neither my brother or I could ever associate ourselves with the NRA.

It's too early to glean any additional information about the situation in California.

whitey delenda est posted:Lol calm down there mr Clancy Tbf this focus on air travel and shoe bombers is crazy when it's a lot easier, especially in the US, to just walk to a crowded place with a gun and open up. I mean people have already done it multiple times and nothing has been done about it. You can walk on the street with an assault rifle and if the police accost you it's a violation of your God-given rights. If you have people willing to die it's by far the most efficient and powerful way to make people panic. Look at Paris.

Despite it being the obvious side-effect, I don't think this shooting is going to help trump or the GOP in general, really. It's just too confusing for them to hang onto for very long. It's mostly the target, if that's not the obvious bit. It's just too difficult for them to handle, once the cheap points-scoring off the attacker being Muslim is done. I mean, they're gonna have to at some point confront the fact that it's victims, not just mainly but almost certainty in their entirety, were gay. Likely they'll just drop it rather then do that.

I know it's impossible because politicians and money, but I wonder how well a move to repeal the 2nd amendment would be received by the public, especially after the killing sprees of these last few years. A quick Google didn't turn up any recent polling on that question.
